Not able to use resgen on Mac to generate .cs strongly types resource class file
USMember ✭✭
I am using .resx for string resources in my Xamarin.Forms project. I have a TextResources.resx file and it generates a TextResources.Designer.cs file when compiled from Xamarin Studio. The properties of the .resx files are:
Build Action - EmbeddedResource
Custom Tool - PublicResXFileCodeGenerator
However the problem is with our automated build using CLI. The xbuild command is not supposed to generate the TextResources.Designer.cs file and hence the build fails. I need to use the resgen utility to generate this file and include it as a build step before running xbuild.
But, on a Mac the following resgen command does not work and shows up the Usage guide instead.
resgen /src:cs TextResources.resx
Can someone share their experiences on this please?

Hi hemant,
Did you manage to sort this out? I'm facing the same problem.
Thanks
In other words, does anyone know a way to run the Custom tool: PublicResXFileCodeGenerator on the command line to a specific file on a MAC?
Thanks
Not yet @JoaoSilva.7604. I am surprised there's no one to help here.

I don't think it's possible. The resgen.exe in the mono framework doesn't contains arguments like "publicclass". And that's really sad.
